The "knockers" will now have the
opportunity of dubbing Judge Ileffer-
nan a "republican schemer" since he
assessed the notorious Ryan woman
with a fine of $30 for running a bouse
of prostitution in South Sioux City.
It is jnst another parallel case with
that of "Big Mabel,"
Oeorge W Wiltseof Randolph, Neb,
Las oonsented to become a candidate
for re election to the state senate from
this district, and a petition has been
filed to have his name placed on the
primary ballot. Mr WHtse has been
practically forced into the race by his
friends, who appreciate his good work

NEBRASKA
A well known publicist has described
a "bonanza" ns beint; "a hole in the
ground for sale by a liar." The defini
tion is true only in port a "a bonanza"
is not always a hole in the ground.
People wbo are looking for "get rich
quick" schemes need not look to Nebr
aska. But people who are looking for
homes in a land where the soil is lertile,
where the air is pure, where educational
facilities are bert, and where the toil of
the husbandman or the industry of the
manufneturer is rewarded iu bounteous
measure people looking for homes iu
that kind of a country should study
Nebraska.
Here area few facts about Nebraska
that homeseekers should study, and
which loyal Nebraskans should scatter
to the four corners of the earth.
Nebraska raises more wheat, oats,
barley, corn and alfalfa to the acre than
any other state in the union.
In 1909 tbe averace yield oi wheat
per acre in the United States was 12.8
bushels; the Nebraska average was 20.1
In 1909 the average yield of corn per
acre in the United States was 25.5 bu
shels; the Nebraska average was 25.7.
In 1909 the average yield of hay per
acre in the United States was 1.42 tons
per acre; the Nebraska average was
3.22.
Nebraska soil is peculiarly adapted to
the growing of every cereal and fruit
that may profitably be raised in the
temperate zone. It is ' the buckle on the
corn belt of the world." It is the third
largest corn producing state in the
union, with a smaller corn acreage thnn
either of the states that are ahead of it
in total production.
A decade ago Nebraska was not count
ed among the wheat producing states-
loaay it is tne tourtn wheat producing
state in the union, and raises more
wheat to the acre than either of the
three states exceeding it in total pro
duction.
The two states that excel Nebraska in
corn production were old and well sett
led states before Nebraska was admit
ted into the union. OI the three states
that excel Nebraska in the total of
wheat produced, two were old and
well settled states before Nebraska was
admitted. If Nebraska can rank this
high so early in her history, what will
her position beat the close of the first
quarter of the present century?
There is a difference between "cheap
land ' and "low priced" land. There is
very little "cheap land" in Nebraska.
But there is a ereat deal of "low priced
land" land that may be secured at a
low price on easy payments, and which
will produce abundantly. Millions ol
acres of raw land are obtainable
land which has never been touched with
the plow, and which is as fertile as any
the sun ever shone upon. With the ad
vent of intensive farming the "big farm
is disappearing and in its place is being
taken by the small farms. This means
that there are hundreds of thousands ot
acres of improved farm land upon the
market, obtainable at a reasonable
price and upon good terms. Every year
hundreds of farmers are retiring amply
rewarded for their long years of labor
and their land holdings are for sale.
The home seeker need look no further
than Nebraska. The far north west is
famous tor wheat, but Nebraska wheat
lands are just productive and in add
ition Nebraska soil will grow corn, oat
rye, barley, alfalfa, potatoes, etc, just a
prolusely as it grows wheat.
There are approximately 49, 000, OOO
acres in Nebraska. Twenty five million
acres are as yet untilled.
Let the home seeker investigate Nebr
aska. Nebraskans simply say to all in
quirers, "come and see,"
There is land in Nebraska subject to
homestead. Write to the United States
Land office Lincoln, Nebraska for in
formation. For farm land improved and unim
proved write to any reputable real est
ate dealer in Nebraska. The real estate
dealers who advertise in this newspaper
are worthy of confidence.
Nebraska offers homes to the industri
ous, I am here to stay,
I'm glad to aay,
